Abstract

Abstract Medical equipment is crucial for medical institutions, yet there are issues in its allocation. This study analyzed the configuration of medical equipment in Chinese public hospitals, covering large and life support equipment, domestic equipment proportion, etc. Using questionnaires and SPSS 26.0 for analysis, it found that tertiary hospitals have more equipment, higher value, and better management personnel compared to secondary ones. The number of Class A equipment is small and not related to beds, while Class B equipment varies. Life support equipment quantity is positively correlated with beds, with 78% being domestic. Regional distribution is area-function influenced. Few use third-party services, many implement supervision, and 74% use IT for it. In conclusion, equipment allocation relates to hospital grade, etc., domestic equipment and IT supervision improved, and hospitals should strengthen planning and management and a national system is recommended.
